Am a student there - feel free to reach out :)

That MCAT score(hopefully) will go up. I mean, that score wasn't anything close to the things that I've been getting on my FLs... Definitely my fault on not keeping my physical condition up. lol That clinical hours that I don't have will come back and haunt me. :D And for DO schools (and other...

well, I don't know much compared to the experts in this forum, but if I were you.. I would definitely take the TA. I think the TA-ship not only help you with your ECs but also would help you to dominate the subject(especially the subject being biochem and anatomy). I mean, you're a PhD...

Thank you for giving really nice advices and direction... :D I don't know if I can thank you enough for this.... I was sort of clueless as I was aimlessly studying for MCAT. I've been reading more in the forum and masters or some kind of informal post-bac(not being in a specific program but...

You are right. Yes, medicine came to my mind later than other people did.... so that's why I didn't have much hours in for that type of experiences. I see that schools might think that I don't have the dedication for it, especially with the clinical experiences that I have/or will have for the...

Catalystik, thank you for your advice. That does help a lot to see where I stand. Yes, I do recognize that my clinical experiences are not sufficient... But by the summer of 2011, I'm planning on getting at least 200+ hours in. Is it absolutely impossible for me to get in with the additional...

Hello, fellow SDNers.... well, I don't know where should I start. But any advice, help, I mean, anything would be appreciated. I really need some good advice here. I will go from my stats.... just like everyone else. I'm an international student, and I know this would make things very...

Hi, it's good to see someone who's in the same situation as I am. Yeah, I worried about the same exact thing when I was doing my undergrad(not so long ago). The answer is yes, you can. You definitely need good USMLEs and other stuffs as it is getting increasingly competitive(especially for us...

Thank you for your advice. Yes, that's about the time I took to read through an EK lecture. Problem solving and checking answers took me a big chunk of time, so if that's the case, I'm not particularly too slow. :D I don't know if I'm disciplined or not. well not that I'm not, but...

Hi everyone! I just started to study today to prepare for Jan.29 MCAT..... (and I just got my TBR materials!) I'm using EK bio, 1001 series(Verbal 101 as well), and TBR. Wasn't intending to study for this grueling test ever again, but I had a real bad day, so this is my take 2. I'm...

Yeah, I'm on board too. I seriously choked on my MCAT on Sep. 3rd, so this is the retake..... so studying again. lol

Indeed... I would really appreciate your help on that. I did like 10-11 points(!) lower than my practices. I did have a bad day on that day, and that probably is why, but I think I have some problem too. The diagnostics and AAMCs are not the actual things... but if it shows that much of...
